The Drinking Water Treatability Database (TDB) makes available assembled data on the control of drinking water contaminants, housed on an interactive, publicly-available, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) web site (www.epa.gov/tdb). The TDB provides data that may be used for many purposes, including: identifying an effective treatment process; designating Best Available Technologies; emergency response to intentional events (water security); emergency response to unintentional events (spills); regulatory review; Contaminant Candidate List (CCL) determinations; and, identifying research needs. It is of use to drinking water utilities, research organizations, water treatment process design engineers, regulators, environmental groups, and academics and graduate students. Includes figures.
